Livin' on free food tickets water in the milk from the hole in the roof
   Where the rain came through what can you do
   Tears from little sister cryin' cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
   For the party to go oh but she knows she'll get by
   Cause she is livin' in the love of the common people
   Smiles from the heart of the family man
   Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
   Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can and she can
  
   It's a good thing you don't have a busfare
   It would fall through the hole in your pocket
   And you'd lose it on the snow on the ground a walking to town to find a job
   Tryin' to keep your hands warm
   But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
   And it chills to the bone boy you'd better go home where it's warm
   And you can live in the love...
  
   Livin' on dreams ain't easy
   But the closer the knit the tighter the fit and the chills stay away
   You take 'em in stride family pride you know that faith is your foundation
   And a whole lot of love and a warm conversation and plenty of prayer
   Making you strong where you belong
   And you can live in the love...
   Oh yes we live in the love...
